Lasik MD told CTV National News that no medical procedure is “100 per cent risk-free” and that patients are indeed informed of potential risks ahead of the procedure. There were some days where I didn’t want to wake up because I knew I would just be in pain all the time.”
“There are some days where it was really, really bad. If I knew that I could get burning pain almost 24-7 for the rest of my life because of Lasik, I would not have done it,” said Terzian. “Nowhere in my contract was is it written that I could get this. None of the allegations have been proven in court. The lawsuit alleges the company “failed in their legal obligation to adequately inform” appellant patients of the risks. Lasik, which is short for laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis, involves using a laser to cut a flap in the cornea to reshape the surface and sharpen the patient’s eyesight, but Ouellet and Terzian, both of whom appear to suffer from a rare condition called “ corneal neuralgia,” said they were never warned. “I want justice, compensation and I want them to pay for what they did to me and the others. The pain has made him contemplate suicide at times, he added.
It made me lose the things I like to do in life,” said Ouellet. Ouellet is the lead plaintiff in the new first-of-its-kind class action lawsuit. TORONTO - At least two Canadians are suing a national chain of laser eye surgery clinics and asking others to join them after they developed a rare and extremely painful complication.Ĭhristopher Ouellet and Krystel Terzian were supposed to see better following the popular elective procedure, but they allege the cornea operation performed at Lasik MD clinics instead triggered unrelenting eye pain. UPDATE: A Quebec court rejected this legal action in November 2020, ruling that it does not meet the criteria of a class-action lawsuit.
